Amy Childs has opened up about her split from Bradley Wright following the birth of their daughter.

Just six weeks after welcoming their first child together, a girl named Polly, the ex-TOWIE star shocked fans when she announced they had gone their separate ways.

Amy, who previously said the split was amicable, says she ended up feeling more like his "mum" and admitted she hadn't felt sexually attracted to him for a while.

Speaking to OK! , the reality star shared: "After Polly arrived, he was sleeping in a different room. Towards the end I became more like a friend and his mum."

Amy added: "Even when he came home from work he'd have a cuddle with her and he did that a little bit but then he'd go upstairs. I think he was just so over it. When she was crying in the night, he wouldn't come in and say, 'Can I help?' It was always me."

While Bradley shared his side of the story, saying he is always busy with work and due to the nature of his work it's "dangerous" if he's tired.

"I’m adjusting to the split from Amy; it’s hard. If Amy feels like I wasn’t helping with Polly it was because I’ve been very busy with work. I’m a tree surgeon and ground worker, so it’s dangerous if I’m tired," he said.

"It’s all new to Amy, having a baby, and she’s been very tired – particularly after five days in. Everything was my fault and I never had a say, so I just kept out of it. I wasn’t Amy’s priority – other people were."

Following their split a representative for Amy said in a statement: "Amy has not thrown Brad out, but they have split up amicably.

"Brad will of course see Polly whenever he likes and they will remain friends."

The couple were together for a long time, having met at a pub in Brentwood and dating almost immediately.

But they split in 2015 when Bradley was sentenced to 16 months in prison - although he ended up serving just six months of his term before being released for good behaviour.

At the time of their first split, Amy told Lorraine that she was disappointed in Bradley's behaviour.

"I have been let down again. But I'm a strong person. Every day, I try to keep myself really busy. It's great keeping busy because it really takes my mind off of what's happened," she said.

But the two reconciled in March 2016, and in October that year confirmed they were expecting their first child together - a baby sibling for Bradley's seven-year-old daughter Lexi from a previous relationship.
